Fatigue is getting worse. Recognizable?

Judith
Dear ladies,

I'm 12 weeks pregnant now, and the fatigue is only getting worse. My stamina is getting worse, I'm short of breath, I get sore legs after exertion, and going out for the day is getting heavier and heavier. I thought it should be getting better now? Anyone here familiar with this? Or know what it could be?

    I'm 16 weeks pregnant and also feeling tired regularly. It's probably because I work irregular hours and it's busy at work. Did you already get your blood test results from your midwife? If your Hb is good, it probably just belongs to pregnancy. Take it easy and occasionally just give in to it. Not all pregnant women are the same; what's on the internet is average, don't fixate on it.

    No, I’m getting a blood test on Thursday. I also work irregular hours, so that probably plays a role too. I’m familiar with an Hb level that’s just below the lower limit, so it’s quite possible it’s dropped below the threshold now. We’ll wait and see. Luckily, I have two days off now.

    I'm 25 weeks pregnant and feeling so tired. I keep falling asleep during the day. I felt a bit more fit around 20 weeks, but unfortunately, this is just part of it.
